“We must wait until we get the signal,” says Faruskiar.

A half minute elapses. Ought I not to tell Popof? Yes—I ought.
I was turning to go out of the van, when an exclamation kept me back.
“The signal—there is the signal!” says Ghangir.
“And now the train is on the Nanking branch!” replies Faruskiar.
